  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Lycee Francais de Chicago publishes where its graduates go (Matriculation 2022-2026): 136 colleges, including Boston College, Boston University, Columbia University - École Polytechnique Dual Degree*, Columbia University - Sciences Po Dual Degree*.
  • Worth asking admissions: the school profile. Reach doesn't yet show this school's SAT/ACT or AP results. Every private school produces a counselor's "school profile" for colleges, and most post it online — ask admissions for it. How a school answers says as much as the numbers.

Your state's public flagship

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

admit rate
$16,004
in-state tuition/yr · $35,124 out-of-state

SAT 25–75 · ACT 29–34

The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $14,355/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 773 in 2018 to 646 in 2022 — over 4 years.
-16.4%
Why only 3 data points?

Private school enrollment comes from the NCES Private School Universe Survey (PSS), which is collected every other year — not annually like public-school data. The most recent published collection is 2021–22; NCES targeted spring 2026 for the 2023–24 release — we'll load it as soon as it's published.

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -4.4%/year, projecting from 2022's 646 students:

2023
618
2025
565
2027
516

≈ 130 fewer students by 2027 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At tuition per student, the 130 students projected to be lost by 2027 represent ≈ $2,080,000/year in tuition at risk.

Tuition is an editable estimate (PSS doesn't publish tuition) — set it to your school's figure.
